ANARCHIST MosT is evidently not much
Of a sympathizer of the Affections ~ of
DR.. McGlynn, judging from the following
paragraph which la ely appeared in the
Neiheit, the anarchstic organ:
"The hero is such miserable religious
enthusiast that 1t naturally makes a sensible
man sick to listen to his sermons, which he
now uses as food for mass meetings. That
he has trouble with his bishop is his own
business, and we never knew that it was
any of the workiDgmen's business if a
priest fell from grace. They had better
themselves 60 about it to depose all priests
and to transform churches into buildings
that may do some good. The entire parade
was an illustration of the ignorance of the
American masses"
Considering the masses that had beer
expected to participate in the parade ant
did not, we think it can rather be construed
into an exhibition of American intelli
gence.

The suggestion made some time since by
the New York Star, that the captured reb-
el trophies be gathered together and depos-
tied in some receptacle in the monument to
be erected over the remains Of Gen. u. S.
Grant, meets with considerable approval
on the part of many ''Old soldiers as well
as the leading newspapers of the country.
The suggestion is timely as well as excel
lent and justly meets with public fayor in
asplneh as all states-north and south, east
and west-are on an equal footing, en-
joying the same rights and privileges; and
IS q matter of policy the rebel flags should

n is probable that the delegates elected
by the Democratic County Committee, to-
day Saturday will be instructed to vote
for Hon. W. NJ. Rapsher for Judge of the
Supreme Court at the State Convention,
August3l. Mr.. Rapsher' candidacy meets
with much. approval on the part of leading
Democratic papers throughout the State,
and the many commendatory allusiens to
his candidacy and ability as q lawyer and
jurist by Republican journals tend to
strengthen the popular opinion that he will
be the choice Of the State Convention for
the important position fer which he is so
eminently qualified by all natural and
necessary qualifications. When we pre-
sented the honorable gentleman's name to
the State Democracy a little more than six
weeks ago IL met their heartisst approval
as was evidenced by the many laudatory
newspaper articles which we clipped from
Tile leading and most influential journals Of
the State aud published from time to time
ihiour columns. Thedemand for his nom-
ination not only eminates from this section
or county, nor is 1t only an ADVOCATE
boom, 1t comes from every section aud
quarter of the Keystone Commonwealth
where ability and intelligence are appreci
ated and life free from the corruptivC
tnint of monopolistic power is correctly
recognized by all classes of men. In pre-
senting and urging the Democracy to nom
mate w. NJ. Rapsher we are encouraged by
the support that comes to us from the elias:
who fulfill the divine injunction of ''earnins
their bread by the sweat of their brow''-s

Mr.. WILLIAM O'BRIEN's paper, United
ireland, describes the attitude of his coun-
try toward the English jubilee very graphi-
cally as follows;
''Ireland is the only civilized country in
the world which did not share in the jub-
lee celebration. She stood sternly and sor-
rowfully aloof. Ireland's place ought TO
have been beside England at the throne.
Irish blood and brain helped to build the
empire. Poverty, misery and slavery are
her reward. She shared EnglanTs labors,
but she may not share her trlumphs. Eng
lands joy is for fifty years of liberty, pros
perity and progress. The Irish grief and
wrath are fer fifty years of misery, famine
and oppression, England is numbered by
the struggles of sullen captive, when she
might purchase by justice the aid and COM
fort of a friend"
There is much trath as well as pathos in
the last sentence of this characterization.
1t is indeed only by justice that England
can secure friendly aid and comfort from
Ireland.

Assemblv 4e Backward.

New York, june l3.-The home
club district assembly No. 40. K. of L
which has caused so much trouble among
the other district assemblies in this city,
is said to be fast d~isintegrating. The
matter, which is causing international
trouble. and from which there is said TO be
greater danger than from outside attacks,
is the failure ofthe% auditing committee ap-
pointed last October to report on the
financial affairs of the assembly. The re-
port was to have been made yesterday. as
the result of strong pressure. but it was
not forthcoming, and the members de-
clare that if it is not submitted next Sun.
day there will be war.

LONDON, June l3.-The house of
commons this evening resumed the de-
bate on the coercion bill, taking up the
ff b clause, which deals with the pro-
claiming of districts.
Henry Fowler, Liberal, proposed as an
amendment that pfoclanations be made
by order of the privy counsel instead of
by the Viceroy. He urged that a change
OF such importance as the proclaiming of
districts should be made by the imperial
instead of by the Irish executive.
The amendment was pu, to a division,
and was reiected-239 to l67.
MIR. Doherty moved as an amendment
that proclamations be issued only in the
report Of the judge of the high court,
after local inquiry.
The amendment was rejected BY a vote
of POP to l26.
Mr.. Shaw Leteyre moved an amend
mentl limiting the authority of the viceroy
in proclaiming to districts where it might
be necessary for the prevention OF crime
and outrage. He appealed to the govern
ment to assent to the alteration, which,
he said, would bring the clause to accord
with the act of 1882.
Sir r. L. Webster, attorney general,
said that it was refreshing to hear Shaw
Lefevre defending the act of 1882. The
government, he added, could not accept
the proposal. The object being to punish
the authors as well and to prevent the
commission of crime, the amendment
would hamper the operation of tie meas
ure.
Mr.. Bradlaugh suggested that to meet
the views Of the government the words
land punishment" be added to the
amendment, after the word ''preven-
ton,
Mr.. Balfour announced that the govern
ment accepted the amendment with Mr..
Bradlaugh's modification (Cheers).
The government accepted an amend
ment offered by Fowler making the proc.
lamation subject TO the veto of either
houses of parliament.
Attorney General Holmes moved to
amend the clause by making summary
jurisdiction and a change of venue apply
to crimes committed before the issue of
the proclamation, if such crimes be COM
mitted after the passing of the act.
The amendment was carried by a vote
of 22T to llS.

That Troublesome j. P.

WASHINGTON, June ia petition
for a writ of quo uarrdnto against John
N. Oliver was to-day filed in the district
court in the name OF the United States.
Oliver was removed from the office of
Justice of the peace by President. Cleve-
land, but refused to surrender the office
docket to his successor, claiming that he
could be removed only by the Supreme
Court of the District OF Columbia. The
petition, which was made returnable on
the 10th inst, calls on Oliver to show by
what right he continues to exercise the
functions of Justice of the peace.

Inundated.

New ORLEANS, June l3.-A special to
the Times Democrat from Pointe a la
Hache, La, says: A brisk east wind the
past four days has driven the %ruinous salt
water up the gulf, submerging all the rice
fields from this point to quarantine sta
ton, a distance Of about thirty miles, and
forced it inland up as far as La Chiene in
st. Bernardo parish, and all along the east
bank of the river to this point. Tho dam
age cannot now be estimated, but If a
bright sunshine follows a subsistence Of
the foods then not a head Of rice will be
made for thirty miles along the east bank
of The Misslssippi.

the explosion. Inman is five miles from

the immense importance and necessity OF sta
bility Of titles dependent upon these official
instruments, demand that the effort to set
them aside. to annul them, or to correct mis-
takes in them, should only be successful when
the allegations on which this is attempted are
clearly stated and fully sustained by proof 1t
is not admitted that the titles by which so much
property in this county and so many rights
are held purporting to tmanate from tho au-
thorltatlve action Of the officers OF the govern
ment, and, as in this case, under the seal and
signature Of the President Of the United States
himself, shall be dependent upon the hazard of
successful resistance toeyery whim and caprice
Of any person who chooses to attack them In a
court Of justice.
1t is to be hoped that the unmlstakaDle
meaning Of this language will be the rule
under which future efforts to set aside
patents are attempted. The government
should not be put to unnecessary expense,
nor should holders OF land be annoyed, and
in many instances ruined and bankrupted
because of vague rumors of fraud, often
the outcome of personal differences, magni
fed by over Jealous officials from mole
hills into mountains.

Supreme Court have involved such vast In

The Maxwell Land Grnnt.

The Supreme Court in the Maxwell land
grant case incontinently sat down upon
Commissioner Sparks. While the court
called no names in delivering its opinion,
it said some things that read very much
like they were aimed directly at the head of
the land commissioner, and, from an inter-
view with him published the day after the de-
cision, these remarks appear to have reached
the object aimed at, though they rebounded
from the commissioners self-conceit like
an india rubber ball striking stone wall.
The court said in regard to the allega-
tions Of fraud in the survey:
The question of fraud in the survey .
Is not deserving of mach consideration. We
are comp elled to say that we do not see any
satisfactory evidence of an attempt TO commit
fraud, and still less Of its consummatiou. As
10 the PRINCIPAL officers of the government;
who were connected with that survey to wit,
the commissioner of the general land Office
and the surveyor general of the territory OF
New Mexico, there is not the slightest eyi-
dence that they were governed by any frauiu.
lent or improper motive in their acts in re-
gard to this survey, or that they displayed
any leaning toward the grantees in ascertain.
ing the true boundaries OF the grant.
The insinuation made that the case was
not properly presented and the facts with
held, is only worthy Of notice because 1t Is
reflection upon the court that requires au
immense amount OF self complacency upon
the part of the maker. Such Il charge in
wolves not only the integrity Of the Attor
ney Generals office, but the intelligence OF
the justices Of the Supreme Court.
The immense interests involved, not only
in the case at bar, but in the vast num-
ber OF similar cases for which this would be
precedent, was sufficient guarantee, If
any was needed, Of proper prosecution
upon the one part and Of careful consldera
tion in arriving at a conclusion and giving
an opinion upon the other, The court was
unanimous in its decision, and its language
was unusually direct ana strong. 1t said:

The Charleston Neus and Courier, one of
the most Bourbon Of southern Democratic
papers, says:
The House Of Representatives will have 10
bear the blame. II has accomplished more by
its stupidity and cowardlce to bring roproach
upon popular government than any similar
body that has met in Washington for years.
The Republicans have been telling the
people Of the country for years that the
Democrats had not the ability and honesty
to make and execute the laws to govern a
great country like this, but they have
hardly ever used such strong language as
that quoted from the Ne,rs and Courier.
1t is, however, probable that one Democrat
knows the others as well or better than the
Republicans DO; so we will let the words OF
the NocS and Courier stand as properly de-
